Angelika's Pythagorean Relationship Post

Explain The Pythagorean Relationship
1) Can be used to determine the lenth of a hypotenuse of the right triangle when two lents of the two legs are known.
2) The sum of the areas of squares attached to the legs of a right triangle equals the area of the square attached to the hypotenuse.
3) It's also the relationship between the lenths of a right triangle.




Is This A Right Triangle? Prove It!
a2+b2=c2
64+36=100
(8x8)(6x6)(10x10)
No, it's not a right triangle because 64+36=100 not 121 (11x11)
So it's not equal.













Solve The Missing Lenth
12cm and 5cm
a2+b2=c2
12cm+5cm=17cm
c+17cm
